Since launching a COVID-19 relief campaign just over a month ago, the Canada Asia Pacific Business Association has donated more than $100,000 to help fight the virus.
That includes a $10,000 donation last week to the Richmond Hospital Foundation.
The campaign is headed by association president Elsa Wong, with assistance from Thomas Wu, Sandra Lau and Lawrence Yeung and secretary Jacky Hui.
The team recently hosted a successful virtual conference, which featured many invited guests including advisor and Richmond South Centre MLA Teresa Wat and Richmond Hospital Foundation CEO Natalie Meixner. In addition to updating the status of the campaign, participants also learned about the newest innovations in ventilators being researched and developed at UBC Hospital.
